i had another late night at work (this time a company 10th birthday party) so i arrived at paddington at around 8.30pm. i didn't know it at the time but they were recording a live opera in amongst the random commuters in paddington station (see BBC site here)

i had 4 minutes before i got the train so whizzed through the crowds and just caught my train.

i got these photos (vision man, orchestra by the sushi bar and camera man):

on the train i read my paper and noticed in the TV guide they were doing a live flash mob opera at a mystery location, and realised that's what i'd just seen.

it went out live on BBC 3 TV 8-9pm but they repeated it again 10-11pm and i just go back in time. so i got to see my bald head go by for a split second on the TV. i even managed to take a photo of the telly when it was on. here it is (i'm the bright white bit on the bottom right of this photo):


on the telly we saw that alan yentobb, so i missed a celebrity photo opportunity. and there must have been the BBC concert orchestra lorry somewhere too. oh well.

update: our friend steve was there too (see here). also, in the morning i'd seen them setting up (see here)
